I do! Serious! Did I mention that you're good looking and have great
taste? :-)

Especially scoundrels! Pete Blackford and Steve were here week before last!
I'll scan you a photo of Pete trying to get out of the 51 :->.
More seriously, I would be very pleased to share my 51 files with you: the
complete works of the Vern Jaques "Lotus Formula Ford Register", many
photos and even a "draft copy" of the Lotus 51 operators manual and parts
book;
a work in progress by a fine engineer. Anytime is good with me 'til the
26th.

Be careful . . Steve generously brings Green King Abbot . . . $12 a
six-pack!
